Overall there has been a decrease of 58 annual responses and 974 annual burden hours due to program changes.
The business respondents for phytosanitary certificates were erroneously omitted from the last submission. Also omitted but now included are the respondents for emergency action notifications, port of first arrival inspections, and notices of arrival.
The last submission also included an overestimate of 2 responses per respondent for the grower registration and agreement submissions, which has been revised to 1 response per respondent, based on actual practice. The foreign government respondent for this activity was also omitted from the last submission but is now included.
Lastly, the number of grower site reinstatements reduced significantly due to the current enhanced methods of production.
